Volume 5, Issue 2 (2020)

Sherry Latten, Invited Editor

With an ongoing commitment towards inclusivity in academic research, the Journal of Research Initiatives (JRI) is honored to share Volume 5, Issue 2 reflecting the comprised works of academicians, researchers, and practitioners. The open-access publication enables us to reach a globally diverse audience with a blend of research articles, book reviews, and best practices that expand the academic community's growth and knowledge. This issue explores topics relevant to the current academic environment with articles addressing the perceptions of online education, self-regulation in online learning, implications of self-affirmation, parent and school relationships, and male achievement in higher education. To further represent the depth and areas of research of our authors, this publication includes articles highlighting the therapeutic nature of qualitative interviewing, leader roles in sustaining Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and gender in schools. We extend our sincerest appreciation and gratitude to our authors, reviewers, and readers who demonstrate their scholarly passion and enthusiasm for learning.
